274 / EVANS A/W10 COLLEX PREVIEW

Back in April, Evans previewed their Autumn collection and gave us a sneak peek into what is in store later this year. Earlier this week, another round of promotional images were posted on their Fashion Fix blog and I am getting more and more excited by what I see. From the initial images, this Fall will be all about chunky knits, faux furs and tough boho luxe. What I am most excited about are the variety in footwear! Its no secret that I have a thing for shoes, and boots are my absolute favorite type. Those black over-the-knee lace up boots are atop my list as well as the reddish velvet boots seen in the previous post.

236 / FIRST LOOK: EVANS A/W10 COLLECTION

Photobucket

Yesterday, Arcadia Group (which include Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Evans and more) has their press day for the Autumn/Winter 2010-11 collections. I was really excited to see what Evans did for fall because 1) their Spring collection is so good and 2) fall is my favorite season! I saw a few sneak peek images posted on Twitter throughout the day but now that I’ve seen the much larger, clearer images, I am so excited!

One thing that I know I always complain about is the lack of cute, on-trend clothing available for plus sizes. With the past two collections, not only have they jumped to the top of my favorite plus retailers but they’ve managed to successfully walk the fine line of being trend-conscious without being trend-driven. There’s definitely a difference between the two! The funny thing is, there’s very little black in the preview images but yet I was still looking through them going ‘OMG. WANT. NEED. MUST-HAVE!’ There’s everything from shearling, velvet (including a FIERCE pair of over-the-knee red velvet boots that almost made me fall out), a bit of military, boho/tribal and more! Check out the pics below and let me know what you think!

oh and ps. BETH IS BACK AT EVANS! Coming this September, a new collection will be arriving at Evans! Below is a small paragraph about what we can expect!

“Beth’s exciting new collection reflects fashion styles from the decades of the last century.  She has spent the past year travelling the World gathering inspiration for this iconic second collection.  In true Ditto style, Beth invites you to step into her fashion wardrobe, where unconventional challenges the norm.  There’s Victorian mixed with 80s punk, through to 40s vintage with a noughties modern edge, all of which create a range of eclectic hybrid designs.”
